In the beginning there was the word. Or a letter, in fact. Or actually, it was the typeface. Johannes Gutenberg – does that ring a bell for you? The moment he invented the mechanical movable-type printing press is considered by Europeans to be the beginning of the printing era.<\/p>\n
That was the time when it all started.<\/strong><\/p>\n There was a boom in printing along with creating new characters, designing typefaces, and layouts. Over the years, typography has entered every aspect of our lives, and now (although you probably don’t pay attention to it) it’s absolutely everywhere and surrounds us from every angle of daily life. Don\u2019t believe it?<\/p>\n Look at your books and their spines with the titles; open your kitchen cupboard and peek at the product names on their boxes; dig at the name of your fridge inscribed on its door; enter the shopping center and focus on the names put at the shops\u2019 entrances. Do you already know what I’m talking about?<\/p>\n Today, apart from the traditional typography used in print, its digital counterpart has an equally important place in designing and preparing publications.<\/p>\n Whether you are a publisher, designer, creator of a magazine or a website, or just a font fan, go deeper into this digital typography guide to be able to prepare a stunning online publication.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Table of contents:<\/strong><\/p>\n The history of typography development is absolutely remarkable, interesting, and full of watersheds. One of them was the transition from a metal typesetting to a digital and photographic one. For many publishers, it was a considerable change or even a breakthrough for Gutenberg’s measure. Today, we can all be a little moved watching the video that shows The Last Day of Hot Metal Typesetting at the New York Times (1978).<\/a><\/p>\n\n
